And may have had a head injury! For shit’s sake, it’s Girl Scout-level first aid!

I live in Northern VA & have lived in DC so I know exactly what you mean!

i wish i could say any of this shocks or surprises me these days, but the police really can’t sink any lower in my eyes.

I mean, if you’re going to fake concern for someone, at least (a) don’t bodyslam or pepperspray them, and (b) take them to the hospital. This is horrible.

actually i just read the article about her arrest linked in this article and it states that in maryland it is not illegal to refuse treatment, so she was not breaking any laws and they had no right to detain her. and they didn’t even take her to get treatment anyway, they lied about that too. they took her right to…

When I read ‘Terrence Sterling’ I thought to myself, “which unarmed black man was he...?” because there have been SO MANY. That’s how fucked up this is. There’s a long list of black men and women who were killed by police in my mind. Too many.

It was right before he head-butted them in their fist.

Do you wish Chief Lanier was still Chief? Or do you think we would be getting the same (non)answers regardless?

The cops say he “rammed” them with his motorcycle. SMDH who the fuck rams a car with a motorcycle?

I am going to just leave this here. I think I will be using this gif all too often.

I don’t care if he was driving recklessly. Poor driving skills do not equal instant death penalty.

There won’t be disciplinary action because regardless of whether different technology exists, DC cops are supposed to activate their body cameras as soon as they “engage” with someone. When it turns on it automatically records the 30 seconds of video (but not audio) prior to when it was engaged. The story for this…

Beside the already heinous act of rolling coal, they decide to do it to a peaceful protest. Western MD is definitely not blue MD.

I really want to punch these fuckwads.

Ugh. This happened two blocks from me. The moment I saw the police report, I was suspicious because it made no damn sense.

I literally don’t know what to do or how to fix this. I have no comprehension where to begin. I’m just so sorry that this is where we are in 2016. I don’t want to read about police brutality and murdered black Americans anymore, I want there to not be a reason that these articles are written.

A couple of local yokels thought it’d be fun to roll coal through the related BLM protest for the pepper sprayed 15 year old. They were even smart enough to leave their names on the video.

Technology exists today that would allow cops to keep their body camera running for their entire shift. The fact that it wasn’t on should result in disciplinary action at the very least.

It’s ingrained in us from our history. White people used to have picnics at hangings and at lynchings, bringing their children to watch black bodies suffer and die. We are not far removed from that, it’s just being played out through technology now. And it hurts.”

This is so tiring.
